In an unpredictable world, having the ability to see the upside of a challenging situation is priceless. It is this kind of confident attitude and personal agency that every organization is looking to instill in their people, no matter their role or responsibility. With information overload, virtual workforces and a general lack of a sense of community, this has all led to an erosion of personal confidence like never before. Lack of confidence leads to a life of existing instead of thriving, which in this day and age we must all work to prevent whether it be personally or professionally. With something as simple as confidence, you can propel yourself forward and learn to embrace your full potential.
